We overnighted at Buffalo River State Park. Beautiful area with lots of great camp sites. The river was not very high but still pretty impressive.Some color here. This was long the river.Our campsite. There were very few people here this time of year.This picture does not show the true red nearly black of these leaves.Someone had built a pool in the river and Buddy was investigating.Funny story about this trail. We went down to the river by our campsite. No problem. Walked the river and decided to come up. Came up THIS path past a dead smelly armadillo. When we got over the fence we saw the sign. Why did they not have it marked at the bottom too? Good question.

I have lots of pictures of Hot Springs. We ended up spending six nights there which surprised us. And Ross said he would love to go back. These are all from day one when we just acted as tourists and visited. Really some wonderful history here and beautiful buildings.

The old hospital is now a training center.There are only two bathhouses still in operation on this street.Here is one – Buckstaff. It uses the old fashioned system.Just loved the looks of this old church.This is not a working bathhouse but has an art gallery in it. Most of the art is of views of the area.This really caught our attention. Very cool and I’ll bet the artist is a relative – somewhere.Cute little rocking motorcycle. Same artist.We did not do the tour but look closely at the name of this duck – Zachary!This bathhouse has pools and also offers massages and other health benefits. Ross said this is what happens after you get out of the baths and massages. A museum and information center are housed in Fordyce House. We went back twice to this one and still enjoyed it. The Fountain of Youth?Steam chambers.Old uniform of the attendants here.Loved this glass roof. Even a workout room. Hard to see this spring as it had a glass cover. Back behind the bathhouses is the promenade. Free parking garage right across from the bathhouse row. Very nice! I will quit for now. There are lots more pictures and will follow with another post. Thanks for visiting!
